The police report initially sounds like something from an "Almost Live!" skit.

A woman who had been jogging Sunday afternoon in North Seattle called 911 to report an assault. The weapon: a Frisbee.

The incident occurred about 4:40 p.m. in the 100 block of Northeast 125th Street. The woman told police said she came across three men in their 20s throwing the Frisbee in a triangle, and that they were throwing the disc across a street.

She stopped and made eye contact with one of the men. That man -- described as having a "round face and wearing a white bandanna" -- then threw the disc directly at the woman, she claimed.

The men all laughed. The woman who called 911 said "the hit caused pain and a bruise to her right thigh," according to a police incident report.

The woman said she was going to let the issue go, but it appears it became more serious. The men in a black Subaru reportedly drove by the woman's residence when she was in the front yard and one acted as through he was going to throw a Frisbee again.

The woman "stated she was not interested in making a big deal out (of) the issue and did not want to see anyone get into trouble," Officer Jeffrey Mitchell wrote in the report. "(She) stated she just wanted the subjects talked to."

Officers spoke to neighbors in the 100 block of Northeast 125th Street and were told of a house where the suspected scofflaws lived.

One neighbor told police "he had the Frisbee fly over his car, just missing his hood earlier in the day," Mitchell wrote.

The officers went to the house, but no one answered. Police are no longer investigating.
